How Am I Supposed to "Just Use AI for That?"
Your boss said "just use AI for that." For what, exactly? Jonathan Flower and Lindsay Hansen led a 60-minute lunch-and-learn on realistic AI boundaries for HR: live demos with honest recovery, tool-agnostic prompt patterns, and the questions to ask when leadership hands you a vague mandate. The full recording is available to paying Mastermind members.

Why this matters
Leadership says "just use AI for that" and walks away. You are left holding a vague mandate, a tool you have barely used, and a real HR problem that still needs solving. This session was built for that exact moment: what AI can genuinely do for HR work today, where it falls down, and how to tell the difference before you stake your credibility on an output.
About this workshop
Jonathan Flower and Lindsay Hansen ran a 60-minute lunch-and-learn with live, unscripted demos. When a prompt missed, they showed the recovery instead of cutting away — because knowing how to steer a bad first answer is the skill that actually transfers back to your desk.
What we covered
In this session, we:
- Set realistic boundaries for what AI should and should not touch in HR work.
- Watch live demos, including the misses and how to recover from them.
- Learn tool-agnostic prompt patterns that work in ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini.
- Get the questions to ask leadership when the AI mandate is vague.

What attendees left with
You will leave able to translate a vague AI directive into a specific, scoped HR use case you can actually deliver on.
